Before an Online Briefing, you may wish to take a Virtual Tour in order to have a general background on the UN’s work. Virtual Events (Tour and Briefing) offer an exciting opportunity to explore the UN from the comfort of your home or classroom.
Online Briefings will deepen your knowledge of particular issues that interest your group. They are appropriate for a range of audiences, including students (high school and above), educators, civic and business leaders, non-governmental organizations, etc. Topics can range from peacekeeping and human rights to the Sustainable Development Goals, disarmament, and others.
Through a Virtual Tour, you will have a chance to meet live one of our multilingual tour guides who will take you on an online journey through the history of the UN and speak about the Organization’s work in addressing global challenges.

Group Size

We recommend a minimum of 20 to a maximum of 30 persons per online session to keep the tour or briefing engaging and interactive, making sure the tour guide and/or speaker has enough time to answer all questions.
If your group is larger than 30 people, we recommend scheduling separate sessions in the interest of preserving the quality of the experience and interaction with the tour guide or speaker.
